two administrations, the obama and administration, the trump administration, did everything they could to attack russia as a partner and not a junior partner. president george bush was particularly attuned to this. he had to show respect for the russians. you can do the counterfactual. let's say we didn't extend nato. that assumes vladimir putin did not have a certain interests and certain ambitions. at that point if we didn't extend nato, he would have been just fine with the circumstances and he wouldn't have done all the things he is doing now. i could give you the counterfactual's that he would have done them without article five guarantee for the polls and the hungarians and others. they now look like the georgia that fiona just described, which was continuing the state of russia. would that really have been the right, moral case to make for the people of poland and those countries that suffered under soviet occupation for 45 years? when i hear, don't extend nato, i think, the alternative is eastern europe that have no control of their future. i don't like that picture for the uni

if you look back at the obama administration, secretary johnson, he said it was a very bad day if we apprehended 1000 people. right now we are anywhere between three to 4000 per day. we are still three to four times higher than what we should be. when we are that high it creates gaps in our coverage, we don't have the resources in the field that are necessary because we have too many doing administrative duties and we don't have our resources in the field. that creates gaps in our coverage and weight we have gaps is when we see the higher value products such as fentanyl, criminal aliens from special interest countries, that is when those people are those products cross our borders illegally. we have already apprehended 100 people on the terrorist watch list. it any previous record. this is still a very serious issue and if we don't get it under control it is my fear that it is going to be the americans that suffer. >> the department of homeland security put out numbers concerning what are known as encounters. i will show those in a second but could you describe what an encounter is?
